Exodus 22:19
Whoever lies with an animal must surely be put to death.
BSB
ASV
Whosoever lieth with a beast shall surely be put to death.
KJV
Whosoever lieth with a beast shall surely be put to death.
Lieth with a beast - If this most abominable crime had not been common, it never would have been mentioned in a sacred code of laws. It is very likely that it was an Egyptian practice; and it is certain, from an account in Sonnini’s Travels, that it is practiced in Egypt to the present day.
Rare words are the text's own signal of a deliberate thread: the fewer the occurrences, the more the places it appears belong together.
